Usuku Lwezokundiza lubeka i-ajenda yokuthuthukiswa kokuxhumana phakathi kwe-Afrika

JOHANNESBURG – I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) African Aviation Day igcizelele isidingo sokuxhunywa emoyeni phakathi kwe-Afrika ukuze kusatshalaliswe ukuchuma komnotho nenhlalo kulo lonke izwekazi. Ikakhulukazi, i-IATA iphawule ukuthi ukukhululwa kwamalungelo ezindiza ezindizeni zangaphakathi kwe-Afrika kungaletha izinzuzo ezibalulekile kuyo yomibili imisebenzi kanye nokukhula kwe-GDP.

I-Afrika isendaweni enhle yokujabulela ukukhula komnotho okusimeme ngenxa yabantu abasha, abakhulayo nabafudukela emadolobheni, kuhlanganiswe nenala yemithombo yemvelo. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ukuxhumana kwezindiza zangaphakathi kwe-Afrika kanye nempilo yezomnotho yezinkampani zezindiza zayo ibuthaka kunalokho ebekungaba njalo, amathuba okudala amathuba emisebenzi, ukukhula kwamabhizinisi kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha ayalahleka. Izinkampani zezindiza zase-Afrika kulindeleke ukuthi zibuyise inzuzo yezigidi eziyikhulu zamarandi ngo-100, ngenzuzo eyinsalela engu-2014%, okuyinani eliphansi kunazo zonke izifunda zezindiza.

“Ukwenyuka kokuxhumana emoyeni phakathi kwe-Afrika kubalulekile uma i-Afrika ifuna ukusebenzisa amathuba okukhula athenjiswe yizinzuzo zayo zezibalo nezinsiza. Izindiza e-Afrika zeseka imisebenzi ecishe ibe yizigidi eziyisi-7 kanye nezigidigidi ezingama-R80 ku-GDP, kodwa zibhekene nezinselele mayelana nokukhululwa kwezimakethe, ukuphepha, izindleko, ingqalasizinda kanye nokulawula. Kuphela ngokusebenzisa izimboni nohulumeni ngokubambisana lapho lezi zinselelo zinganqotshwa, ukuze kuzuze wonke umuntu e-Afrika yonkana,” kusho uRaphael Kuuchi, iPhini likaMongameli we-IATA e-Afrika.

Ukuxhumana okuthuthukisiwe

Ukuze kuhlinzekwe ohulumeni base-Afrika umbono ocacile wezinzuzo zokuxhumanisa phakathi kwe-Afrika, i-IATA yethule ngokusemthethweni umbiko obonisa ukuthi ukukhululeka kwezinsiza zomoya emazweni angu-12 ase-Afrika kuzovula amathuba emisebenzi ayi-155,000 futhi kukhuphule i-GDP ngamadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.3. Umbiko we-InterVISTAS, isikhungo esizimele, sibale umthelela omuhle wezomnotho wokuqaliswa kweSinqumo se-Yamoussoukro sango-1999, esathembisa ukuvula izimakethe zezokuthutha ngendiza ngaphakathi e-Afrika ukuze zifinyelele ukuncintisana kwamazwe ngamazwe. Amazwe angu-12 kulo mbiko yilawa: Algeria, Angola, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia ne-Uganda.

“Lo mbiko uyigxathu elikhulu elibheke phambili ekulinganiseni izinzuzo zokukhulula izinsiza zomoya e-Afrika yonkana. Akunangqondo ukuthi kungenzeka ukuhamba izikhathi ezingu-13 ngesonto usuka eNairobi uye eLondon kodwa akunakwenzeka ukuhamba ngokuqondile usuka eNairobi uye eDakar. Abagibeli abangaba yizigidi ezinhlanu ngonyaka bancishwa ithuba lokuhamba, ukuhweba, nokusabalalisa intuthuko yezomnotho nezenhlalakahle,” kusho uKuuchi.

Ukuphepha okuthuthukisiwe

Isimemezelo sika-2012 i-Abuja Declaration on African Safety ngongqongqoshe bezokuThutha beNhlangano Yamazwe ase-Afrika sabeka umgomo wokuthi izindiza zase-Afrika zihambisane namazinga okuphepha amaphakathi emhlabeni wonke ngo-2015.

“Ukuphepha yikona okuhamba phambili kwezokundiza. I-Afrika ibivala igebe uma iqhathaniswa namanye amazwe omhlaba kodwa usemkhulu umsebenzi okumele wenziwe ukuze kufinyelelwe inhloso ye-Abuja Declaration. Ukuqaliswa kwe-IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) yizo zonke izinkampani zezindiza ezifanele e-Afrika kugunyazwe ngeSimemezelo, futhi i-IATA isebenza kanzima ukusiza izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zifeze lokho,” kusho uKuuchi.

I-IATA ihlonze izindiza ezingama-20 ukuze zithole usizo ekusebenziseni i-IOSA. IsiMemezelo siphinde sicele imibuso ukuthi yakhe Iziphathimandla Zezokushayela Ngezindiza Ezizimele ezinezinsiza ezinhle nezizimele futhi ziqalise izinhlelo zokulawula ukuphepha.

Ingqalasizinda yokuncintisana nezindleko

Ukubonisana okuthuthukisiwe nokubambisana phakathi kwezimboni nohulumeni kuwukhiye wokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-Afrika ijabulela ukuncintisana kwengqalasizinda kanye nezindleko zebhizinisi. Ezingxenyeni eziningi ze-Afrika ingqalasizinda idinga ukwenziwa ngcono, kodwa kubalulekile ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kuxhaswe ngokwezimiso zamazwe ngamazwe ezimisiwe. Ukungafihli nokubonisana kubalulekile.

“Isisekelo somkhakha wezokuthutha zasemoyeni oyimpumelelo ingqalasizinda efanelekile ehambisana nezindleko ezincintisanayo. Kodwa ohulumeni nabo banendima okufanele bayidlale ekukhuthazeni ukuxhumana komoya ngokusebenzisa intela efanele kanye nomthetho ovumelayo. Uma indiza ithathwa njengenkomo yemali, ikhono layo lokuba yisikhuthazi kwezomnotho liyaphazamiseka. Izindiza zikulungele ukudlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu emnothweni wase-Afrika, inqobo nje uma zikwazi ukusebenza ngohlaka lwenqubomgomo oluqhakambisa igalelo lazo,” kwengeza uKuuchi.

Ukubhekana nenselelo ye-Ebola

Ukusabalala kwe-Ebola kusaqhubeka nokuba yinselelo enkulu yezempilo esifundeni. I-IATA isebenzisana kakhulu neWorld Health Organisation (WHO), okuyiyona ehamba phambili ekulweni nalesi sifo. I-WHO iye yasho ngokungaguquki ukuthi imingcele yokuhamba ayidingekile, kamuva nje encwadini yabo yezindaba ye-14 Agasti 2014. Lenothi ichaza ngokuqondile ukuthi izindiza "ziyingozi ephansi" yokudluliselwa kwe-Ebola, nokuthi "i-WHO ayicabangi izindawo zokuthutha emoyeni phezulu. engcupheni yokubhebhetheka kwe-Ebola.”

Imboni yezokundiza ithatha zonke izinyathelo zokuphepha ezidingekayo, njengokwethula ukuhlolwa kokuphuma ezikhumulweni zezindiza ezithile. Izinkampani zezindiza nazo zinezinqubo ezihlolwe kahle zokuphatha amacala asolwayo okutheleleka, okuhlanganisa imihlahlandlela yokuhlukaniswa nokunakekela abagibeli abagulayo, nezindlela zokubulala amagciwane ezindizeni.

“I-WHO ibekwe endaweni engcono kakhulu yokunikeza iseluleko esinegunya, esizimele mayelana nendlela engcono yokubhekana ne-Ebola. Bebekucacele bha ukuthi ukuvinjelwa kokuhamba nokuhweba akudingekile. Ngaphandle uma lesi seluleko sishintsha siyethemba ukuthi amazwe asebenza kanzima ukuqeda i-Ebola azoqhubeka nokuhlomula ngokuxhunywa emoyeni,” kusho uKuuchi.
